How can you tell whether your 1996 Saturn is an sl sl1 or an sl2?

Answer 1

It should be on the vehicle registration. You can also open the hood and look at the engine. If it says, "Twin Cam" or something like that, it is an SL2. Also, if the plug wires go in the top, it's an SL2.. If they go in the front at an angle, then it's and SL1. An SL doesn't have Power Steering. The pump will be noticeably absent. also a good way to tell is if the bumpers and door handles are the same color as the car or not. If they are it is a SL2, if not and SL1. Another way would be if there is a reflector going across the whole length of the trunk, so as that it looks like the tail lights go all the away across. Sl2's have that, SL1's dont.
